Integrating AWS with Devops Secrets Vault

The AuthAWS functionality in Delinea's DevOps Secrets Vault allows users to authenticate and access secrets using AWS IAM roles. By leveraging AWS IAM, Delinea provides a secure and convenient method for accessing secrets within AWS environments.

DevOps Secrets Vault solution supports dynamic secrets creation for infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platforms Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure (Azure), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Utilizing a cloud-based AWS architecture, DevOps Secrets Vault offers rapid deployment, elastic scalability, and is purpose-built to handle the high-speed secrets management needs of the most dynamic DevOps environments.

Key Features and Benefits:

  • IAM Role-Based Authentication: Delinea supports IAM role-based authentication, allowing users to authenticate and access secrets using IAM roles associated with their AWS accounts. This integration leverages the AWS security model and eliminates the need for separate username/password credentials in Delinea.

  • Fine-Grained Access Control: With IAM role-based authentication, Delinea enforces fine-grained access controls based on the IAM roles assigned to users. This ensures that users can only access secrets and perform actions that are explicitly authorized within their IAM role's permissions.

  • Seamless Integration with AWS: The AuthAWS feature seamlessly integrates with the AWS ecosystem, leveraging the IAM service to authenticate and authorize users. This integration simplifies access management and aligns with existing security practices in AWS environments.

  • Role-Based Secret Retrieval: Once authenticated, users can retrieve secrets from Delinea's DevOps Secrets Vault based on their assigned IAM roles. This ensures that users only have access to secrets that are relevant to their role, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.

  • Centralized Secret Management: Delinea's DevOps Secrets Vault serves as a centralized repository for secrets, providing a secure and scalable solution for managing sensitive information. By using IAM role-based authentication, organizations can centralize secret management while leveraging the security and access controls of AWS IAM.

  • Auditability and Compliance: The use of IAM role-based authentication in Delinea enables comprehensive auditability and compliance capabilities. Access and retrieval of secrets are logged, allowing organizations to track and monitor user activity for auditing purposes and compliance requirements.
